Chapter 178: Palm Meditation (1/2)
”Dharma Master Le Yuan, be careful. This person is good at using poisonous pills.”
Jiang Li reminded from the top of the mountain when he saw this monk walk into the arena.
Jiang Li was naturally happy to acknowledge the other party's kindness.
”Thank you for your reminder, Benefactor Jiang. I will take note.”
As he spoke, he walked in. This also meant that the challenge had begun.
The disciple of the Hundred Tempering Mountain was furious. It was one thing for him to be unable to defeat Jiang Li, but now, a baldy even dared to look for trouble with him. Did he think that anyone could come and bully him?!
”Dharma Master Le Yuan, the antidote for the poisonous pill will naturally be handed out after the competition.”
”If you are here for the antidote, there's no need to do this. You're asking for trouble!”
The expression of the Hundred Tempering Mountain disciple was extremely ugly. Evidently, he was not in a good mood.
After all, he was surnamed Ma, one of the two great clans of the Hundred Tempering Mountain.
He was used to being arrogant and domineering in the sect. Those disciples with foreign surnames were subservient in front of him and allowed him to bully them. He had always been the one bullying others and had never been bullied in half his life.
However, he had been provoked by Jiang Li earlier and was unable to take revenge. This caused his narrow mind to collapse.
”Amitabha. Suffering is a form of cultivation to begin with. This Monk can naturally understand its wonders. On the other hand, Benefactor Ma should understand the word 'suffering'.”
After Monk Le Yuan walked into the arena, his hands still did not move. He did not take out any artifacts or change his posture but directly walked towards the other party.
”Hmph, you want me to suffer too? What shameless boasting!”
”Le Yuan! I advise you to quickly activate your artifact. Don't think that just because you have a higher seniority, I will show you mercy!”
Although that was what he said, the Hundred Tempering Mountain disciples really did not dare to casually attack.
It was unknown if this was due to Dharma Master Le Yuan's talent or if it was fate, but when he entered Benevolent Travel Temple a few years ago, he was actually taken in by the previous generation's Divine Monk.
Those top-notch cultivators with unfathomable cultivation levels were existences on the same level as the founders of the Scripture Storage Valley.
With such an existence as his master, it was hard to say whether he was strong or not. However, just his backing was enough to make most people need to be careful when dealing with him.
”Amitabha. My palms have been together for five years and have never separated. There's no need for any artifacts. Benefactor Ma, feel free to attack.”
Together for five years?
Jiang Li was stunned when he heard this, and then he carefully sized up this monk.
Immediately, he felt goosebumps all over his body.
Originally, when he saw that the other party was dressed in a grayish-brown monk robe, Jiang Li thought that his identity was special, so the clothes he wore were different.
However, after careful observation, he discovered that the cloth was originally yellow in color. However, because of his palms being together, he had not taken off his clothes for five years.
He had worn it for too long and had not washed it before, so it ended up in this color.
It seemed that Benevolent Travel Temple's cultivation was really difficult.
Jiang Li, who loved cleanliness, looked at the clothes and felt a chill run down his spine.
Fortunately, there was the existence of Fasting Pills in the cultivation world, and one did not need to excrete after eating them. Otherwise, this meditation technique would be even harder to cultivate.
”Hmph, you asked for it!”
When Cultivator Ma saw that the other party was unmoved, he was angry. With a flip of his hand, three pills of different colors appeared.
Tri-colored Poison Wind!
Three poisonous pills shot out in a triangular shape. After flying past a stream of light, they exploded around Monk Le Yuan at the same time.
Black, red, and green poisonous gases instantly spread out, and they interacted with each other to form a tri-colored poisonous tornado that surrounded Dharma Master Le Yuan.
Ssss!
In the area enveloped by the poisonous gas, the rock layer on the ring was quickly corroded and disappeared layer by layer. It could be seen how terrifying the toxicity of the three-colored poisonous wind was.
If an ordinary mortal was thrown in, they would probably be corroded into a puddle of acid in three seconds.
Even if the body of a Qi Refinement cultivator was extraordinary, facing this kind of poison, their outcome would definitely not be good.
Other than the Medicine Men, the disciples of the Hundred Tempering Mountain relied on these poisonous pills to easily kill many powerful opponents.
However, seeing that their Uncle-Master was enveloped by the poisonous fog, the other Benevolent Travel Temple disciples did not show any worry.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a blinding golden light pierced through the three-colored poisonous fog. The vile poison quickly melted and dissipated under the golden light.
More and more golden light appeared. In just a few breaths, the poisonous fog vortex was forcefully torn apart.
Dharma Master Le Yuan walked out unscathed. His speed did not even change.
”How… how is this possible?!”
The Hundred Tempering Mountain disciple's hands flew as poisonous pills were thrown out like flowing water.
Monk Le Yuan did not dodge and allowed the poisonous pills to hit him.
One had to know that these poisonous pills were all made by alchemists from the Hundred Tempering Mountain. Although the power was reduced by Qi Refinement realm disciples, the poison could not be faked.
Even Jiang Li would grow a few pimples if he encountered it. However, this Dharma Master Le Yuan was actually not afraid at all.
To be taken in as a disciple by the previous generation's Divine Monk, this Le Yuan was indeed extraordinary.
”Amitabha! This poison pill technique is not orthodox. Benefactor Ma, it's best to repent early!”
Le Yuan stepped on a golden trail and transformed into a shining illusion. He walked towards the other party.
The disciple of the Hundred Tempering Mountain retreated step by step. As Le Yuan approached, the golden trail gave people a powerful pressure, making the other party feel as if he had nowhere to run.
In next to no time, the other party was forced to a corner of the arena, and he had no room to retreat.
The two sides were extremely close, their faces almost touching.
Swoosh!
The Hundred Tempering Mountain disciple's clothes were suddenly torn apart by the golden light. Immediately, five or six porcelain bottles fell out.
”My pills!”
The Hundred Tempering Mountain disciple cried out in surprise. He wanted to reach out and take it, but in the next moment…
”Ami! Tabha!”
With a Buddhist chant, the golden light in front of him suddenly expanded, pushing the Hundred Tempering Mountain disciple who was filled with confidence off the stage!
At this point, the second place on the White Rankings had changed hands again!
Ever since Monk Le Yuan participated in the competition, every battle had been resolved like this. No matter who his opponent was, no one had been able to force him to separate his hands. What he displayed was overwhelming strength.
Nobody expected such a dark horse to appear at the end of the competition.
This monk seemed to be even stronger than Chang Wanzhou of Shu Mountain!
...
Bang!
In the spectator area floating in the sky, Situ Tingxin from the Hundred Tempering Mountain grabbed the handle of the chair.
Pure jade pieces scattered in all directions. This chair that was completely made of spiritual jade was destroyed on the spot.
It was no wonder that Situ Ting would be angry.
The benefits of the appearance of the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm this time were too great. It was possible to change the structure of the entire cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region. It was even more so for the Hundred Tempering Mountain, which specialized in alchemy and weapon refinement.
As long as he grasped the opportunity, he would be able to ride the wind and ascend to the top. At that time, he would be able to truly stand at the peak of the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region and trample everyone beneath his feet.
In this Grand Competition, they even used their sect's trump cards, the Medicine Man Secret Technique and the Poison Pill Technique.
They sent the one-time use medicine men to deal with the strongest geniuses of the other sects. Then, he would crush the other with the poison pill technique that was difficult for cultivators to resist at this stage.
They were taking a risk to offend the other three sects in an attempt to take first place on the two rankings in one go.
